I've got everything except the billetflow brackets and mine still does it. Super annoying.
The Cobra was not developed at a drag racer. It's was developed to compete with Corvettes and M3's
Your argument hold no merit. The S197 cars (with proper suspension components) are able to compete with the M3 at autoX events, and they have a solid rear axle.
Sorry to continue this "stray off topic"

mine has done this since I got my car with 30k, after I installed the IRS brace and irs subframe bushings it went away for 7 to 10k. So now I am going to replace and the diff bushings and I bet it goes away for good. we shall see. IRS=03/04 cobra going to solid is just another mustang with a blower. imo
:dw:
So the IRS is what makes a cobra a cobra? oke:
No, it just makes it less of a Cobra and more like a GT.
Most people who are looking to buy a Cobra are likely to take a pass on one seeing the IRS swapped out for a live axle and will also hurt it's re-sale value. That and the fact the car is very likely to have been abused under the shock loads of drag racing.
The IRS is a better set-up for handling which makes it more fun to drive. Why swap a superior suspension for an inferior suspension?
God I get so sick of hearing that! :bash:
The IRS in the cobras aren't superior to much of anything, Is it better for road racing? Yup I'll give it that, but IMO thats about it!
Perhaps Porsche, BMW, Ferrari and just about every car company building performance cars didn't get your memo :dw:
An IRS is just as relevant on the street as it is on a road course and maybe more.
Yea well maybe if Porsche, BMW, or Ferrari made the IRS thats in the Cobra this conversation would be going in a different direction but they didn't. Ford built it and did a shitty job. So enjoy your IRS, I'm fine with that.
You like yours, I didnt like mine! Dunno what your getting at but it wont change my opinion? :shrug:

The clunk is the play in the rear-end. Every 8.8 I have ever seen has that clunk between teeth.

i only noticed the end of the article when Klaus says it was a piece of crap? :shrug:Here is an article about the guy who actually developed the "shitty" Mustang IRS.
In you case I guess I'm too late but I'm sure anyone who was contemplating making this swap is now thinking differently.......more IRS's saved for future generations!
:banana:
I hope Bruce gets a hold of this thread (more iceing on the cake)
